FBI Seeks Victims of Lockerbie Bombing
News summary

The FBI is conducting an international search for victims of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, including those who suffered emotional injury, prior to the trial of Libyan suspect Abu Agila Masud in the U.S. next May. This outreach is part of a legislative effort allowing remote access to the trial for victims, defined as individuals present at or near the scene or their close relatives. The bombing resulted in the deaths of 270 people, including all passengers and crew on Pan Am Flight 103 and 11 Lockerbie residents. Masud has denied involvement in creating the bomb that destroyed the aircraft. The FBI is requesting individuals who qualify as victims to fill out an online form to gain access to the proceedings, which will be held in Washington, D.C. Advocacy from victims’ families, like Dr. Jim Swire, highlights the importance of allowing affected individuals to witness the trial outcomes.
